EGG HEATER.

Application filed April 12,

The present invention is directed to improvements in egg heaters.

The primary object of the invention is to provide an egg beater of the woven wire type so constructed that the wire strands are secured to the frame in such manner as to prevent wear incident thereto when coming in contact with the sides of a bowl during the beating operation.

It has been heretofore the practice to mount the wire fabric within the frame by wrapping the strands around the frame, consequently placing the same in such position as to come in cont-act with the sides of the bowl, resulting in wear, and consequent breakage of the strands, and it is to overcome this defect that the present invention has been perfected.

\Vhile the drawing illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that in adapting the means to meet specific needs and requirements the design may be varied. and such other changes in the minor details of construction may be resorted to within the scope of the invention as claimed, without departing from the spirit thereof.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof, reference is to be had to the following description and the drawing hereto attached, in which,

Figure 1 is a plan view of the device.

Figure 2 a fragmentary detail perspective view.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in the several views of the drawing by like rcfcrcncc cha racte The numeral 1 designates the frame which is formed from a single piece of suitable metal bent into oval shape, the body 2 there of being rectangular in cross section and relatively thin, said body being provided with. a plurality of perforations 3 in which are secured certain of the strands l of the woven wire fabric 5.

The terminals 6 of the body 2 are left round and are twisted together to provide a shank 7, the outer terminals of the strands 8 of the shank being reversely bent to provide side rods 9 which have their inner Serial No. 269,556.

ends secured to the terminals 6 of the body 2, as at 10, thus maintaining the rods in spaced relation upon opposite sides of the shank 7.

It will be thus seen that the shank and rods 9 constitute a handle 11 which is not only rigid, but offers a comfortable grip for the user. Since the strands 8 are twisted the body of the frame will be held rigid, and owing to the fact that the strands 4 are secured inwardly of the outer ed e of the body 2 of the frame, the same will not thus prolonging the life of the de- The device is primarily designed for beating eggs, but can be made of stouter material in order that it can be used as a cake mixer.

Having thus described the invention, I claim:

1. A beater consisting of a wire having the intermediate portion flattened and formed in its length with a plurality of perforations, and bent to provide a frame, and having the end portions brought together wire and inter-twisted to form a handle, and a filling across the frame and engaging the perforations thereof leaving the outer marginal portion of the frame smooth and free from projecting parts.

2. A beater consisting of a wire having the intermediate portion flattened and perforated throughout its length, and bent to provide a frame of oval form, and having the end. portions brought together and intertwisted for a distance to form a shank and robent to provide side rods and looped about the frame adjacent the shank, and a wire filling across the frame and engaging the perforations thereof leaving the outer marginal portion of the frame smooth and free from projecting parts.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
